Ness was having a bad day until a letter from a distant friend inviting him to an ancient festival cheered him up. The festivities don't last long, however, because soon Ness and friends are faced with a serious problem: aliens!

This ficlet was written for bluewolf487, who likes Jeff/Paula and wanted me to scribble something about 'em. :) I've been kinda brainwashed by adorable fanart of Jeff/Paula, so I think they're kinda cute now. XD Plus, they're intelligent blondes... together, they fight crime and stereotypes! *DUNDUNDUN* That, and I've been reading fanfic lately and it's always poor Jeff that gets the short end of the stick when it comes to triangles. Since most Jeff/Paula is "OH SNAP NESS", I wanted to write something where it was just the two of them with just fluff and no drama. For just once, let poor Jeff get the girl. ;D

The first of a three part story full of chills, thrills, and possibly even a laugh or to. I also strive to explain the connection between Mother 1 and 2, although we won't see how until PART TWO! Dun-dun-dun!
